"Lord, no, the shopkeeper, the brothers have all boarded the ship! And there are so many ships in this fleet, and no one has noticed any more of our ships! At this rate, we will be able to reach the Sanhe Ferry in the first place, where we will go to Shouyang to the west and Xuyi to the east! A man of medium stature, with a shrewd glimmer in his eyes, reported to another middle-aged man with a full beard.

"Then get everyone ready! I didn't expect that this time it would be like a windfall! It seems that I was right to secretly follow you to Jinling, not only did I reach a cooperation with them, I got so much precious and useful information, but I also saw the general casino that was even a household name in Zhou and Qi, and it really deserved its reputation! The middle-aged man seemed to be reminiscing, his voice low and magnetic, which did not match his bearded appearance at all!

"I can't imagine that Chen Guoren knows how to enjoy it so well, this general casino is not only rich in gambling and entertainment items, but also those strange health care services called sauna massage, which are simply unheard of! There are also beautiful people, good food and wine, as long as you have money, you can enjoy everything in it! Hmph, such a poor and extravagant desire, indulge in a rotten life, but Chen Guoren is addicted to this, he doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty, accumulate thick and thin, and in the long run, he will definitely perish! The shrewd man's tone seemed a little contemptuous, but also a little envious.

"There is no need to be so exaggerated, Chen Guoren will die if he just enjoys life, this law is too alarmist! And I found that there are only many rich people in the casino, but there are not many officials of Chen Guo, it seems that Chen Guo is quite strict with the constraints of court officials on this gambling enjoyment! To tell you the truth, I think this business is good, luxurious service, you can enjoy it if you have money, and get out of it if you don't have money, it will not arouse the opposition of the rich, nor will it cause the jealousy of the poor, fair! I guess this kind of business can only be imagined by Xiao Yao, a person who is close to a demon! Haha, what would it be like if you opened a luxury casino like this in Yecheng? The middle-aged man asked.

"The people of Yecheng will be even more crazy than the people of Chen Guoren to be obsessed with these extravagant and lascivious pleasures!" The shrewd man said helplessly.

"Yes, when it comes to arrogance and lasciviousness, who can compare to our Qi people, I think that even the emperor will definitely indulge in these pleasures at that time, and then those ministers who are sloppy and slapping horses will follow suit, and in the end, everyone will be happy, indulge in fun, and ignore the government, which will lead to the destruction of the country!" The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, he is a master of worrying about the country and the people!

"It's just a casino, so we don't need to be sad about it! In the future, we will order that such casinos are not allowed to be opened in the territory of Qi State. The shrewd man persuaded that he was Gao Changgong's deputy, Wei Xiangyuan.

"I'd like to open a casino like this! Don't you see those rich people spending a lot of money in it, and whose hands will all this money end up going to? Xiao Yao's master is half the boss of General Firm! According to Xiao Yao, the cost of the firearms is very high, I think his money came from the General Firm! It's terrible that you can support an army of thousands of Rao without spending the country's money! Not spending the country's money also means that no one can interfere with his infantry battalion, and his infantry battalion will only listen to his orders, what an unimaginable thing! And because he is Chen Shuling's subordinate, no one dares to object to his complete control of the infantry battalion, which is too enviable! Gao Changgong said sourly, because he knew the pain of his army being interfered by others, as the commander of the Qi army, he didn't have any troops in his hands, and the soldiers only obeyed the deputy marshal Captain Pohu, and now they are a little sad when they think about it.

"Yes, this information is worth studying! If it weren't for them giving us so much valuable information this time, we really wouldn't have imagined that Xiao Yao would be such an amazing person! Two years ago, he was just a homeless man running the rivers and lakes, and now he has developed into such a strong opponent! It's hard to deal with him with our strength alone! Wei Xiangyuan said with emotion.

"That's why they dared to risk such a big disapproval and asked us to join forces to deal with Xiao Yao! They can't deal with Xiao Yao with their own strength! Gao Changgong sneered.

"Then, shopkeeper, are we really going to attack this Zhang Dabao? The agreement between us and them is only to make secret contact with Zhang Dabao, get information, discuss countermeasures, and then cooperate with Xiao Yao from inside and outside. Now I'm going to attack him, I'm afraid... Wei Xiangyuan said.

"A whole shipload of wooden crates contains at least 10,000 catties of gunpowder! If this batch of gunpowder crossed Shouyang, with the power of those firearms in Xiao Yao's hands, Wang Lin would definitely not be able to hold Shouyang! I also know that if we do it, it will bring a lot of trouble, and even affect our future plans, but I still have to gamble, I bet that Xiao Yao is a boss who values love and righteousness and loves his subordinates! Gao Changgong made up his mind.

"What does the shopkeeper mean?" Wei Xiangyuan asked puzzled.

"We robbed Xuyi with this batch of gunpowder along with Zhang Dabao, if Xiao Yao is a forgiver who values love and righteousness, he will definitely come to Xuyi to save Zhang Dabao, and after bringing Xiao Yao over, we will use his gunpowder to deal with him!" Gao Changgong said fiercely.

"What if Xiao Yao doesn't come?" Wei Xiangyuan asked worriedly.

"If he doesn't come, then we'll get the information we want to know from Zhang Dabao, and then put him back! A person who has been captured, although it may make Xiao Yao no longer believe in Zhang Dabao, but this Zhang Dabao is the son of a general of the chariot cavalry, Xiao Yao will not be able to remove him, as long as Zhang Dabao remains in the infantry battalion, we still have a chance to deal with Xiao Yao! Gao Changgong analyzed.

Originally, Gao Changgong and Chen Shubao joined forces this time, but it was actually contacted by Wei Xiangyuan and Zhang Dai of Yinhai Commercial Bank, after all, the stakes are very high, and these two leaders behind the scenes cannot show their faces.

But Gao Changgong felt that this was a rare opportunity, to defeat the opponent must know oneself and the other, coupled with his adventurous spirit, so he decided to put on makeup, mixed in with Wei Xiangyuan's entourage, and followed the caravan south to Jinling, while discussing cooperation with Yinhai Commercial Bank, he could observe Chen Guo's national conditions at close range.

In Jinling, Gao Changgong and the others got what they wanted, important information about Xiao Yao, and also experienced the various services of a general casino that had long been reputed, so that Gao Changgong couldn't help but feel that this adventure was worth it to follow Yu Xiangyuan south to Jinling.

And according to the agreement between the two parties, they will leave Jinling with Zhang Dabao, and then make secret contact on the way, and then everyone will part ways as if nothing happened. But when Gao Changgong got on the boat, he found that Zhang Dabao was escorting gunpowder that he had always been very curious about, which made him salivate and think about it!

When he first heard about such a new thing as gunpowder, Gao Changgong was extremely shocked, because the most powerful heavy armored cavalry in the world today was so vulnerable in front of gunpowder, which made Gao Changgong can't help but be curious about these monsters described by the survivors as coming from hell.

Then, as the two armies fought, Chen's army continued to win, and Gao Changgong found that gunpowder played a crucial role in this: a few sackcloth bags that would suddenly explode violently could actually scare Wei Pohu away, leading to the rout of the army, which was also too appalling! And in the urgent report I just received, it was also found that Xiao Yao used gunpowder to blow up the gate of the outer city of Shouyang, and then caused the outer city to be captured!

All this made Gao Changgong have a deep fear of this thing called gunpowder, but he also had an endless yearning: it would be nice if our army could also use this gunpowder!

Gao Changgong had investigated before, this kind of gunpowder was invented by Xiao Yao, and he was the only one in the world who could make it, and he had ordered many capable people to check the ancient books, although he knew a rough formula, but the semi-finished products made were not as powerful as those made by Xiao Yao, so these homemade gunpowder were not useful at all!

Now he found that the gunpowder he had been dreaming of was placed in front of him, and the amount was nearly tens of thousands of catties, which made Gao Changgong feel moved! And he also knew that if this batch of gunpowder reached Xiao Yao's hands, it would be a disaster for the Great Qi soldiers! So he immediately changed his plan and decided to snatch this batch of gunpowder directly!
